@phants: "I came accross this and, while priced out of my consideration, thought
this might be something a "Gun Shop" or a Club could purchase for
customers or members with "Per use" charges. The cleaning solutions,
even without the electronic systems, might be worth looking at...

Yep...! more than price to overcome...
This description from that page is one of the things that I considered
when posting this. Compressed air is not always available either... It's
a bit wgraham@example.org bucks a gallon but seems like it might go a
long way in actual use... I like the idea that it is especially
formulated for the "gun purpose."
====================

specialty lubricants in a mild, solvent base.  Displaces water left by
cleaning solution.  Gives weapons a uniform conditioning lubrication.

For small parts (internals, and things up to the length of a pistol
barrel), you might look at the Harbor Freight $30 unit. They're plastic
and sized for eyeglasses (with plenty of room to spare for that
application). Some folks on a collector mailing list have reported good
results.
One caution: don't use traditional cleaning stuff. Go with water-based
solvents, such as citrus cleaners, Marine15, etc. Definitely stay away
from Ed's Red; you don't want to create a petroleum or acetone cloud.
Not unless you're working on a homemade fuel-air bomb, that is!
